At go-e, we believe the energy transition succeeds in everyday life: in driveways, garages and company car parks. That’s why we develop intelligent charging and energy management solutions that make electric mobility simple, reliable and smart. Our chargers don’t just deliver power; they connect to solar systems, home energy setups and the grid to charge when energy is clean and affordable.

We design our hardware, firmware and apps in-house, because we believe great products come from understanding the whole system. Now we’re building the next generation of our products and expanding our portfolio, with the goal of making smart charging the standard across Europe.

None of this works without confidence in our firmware. Every charger has to communicate reliably with cars, apps, energy systems and the grid, and handle energy safely in every situation. As a Senior Test Engineer (m/f/x) in Graz (Austria), you make sure it does. You turn requirements into precise test specifications, automate the tests that prove our firmware works, and shape how we measure quality as our product family grows. In summary: Your priority will be test specification and automation. With you, we strengthen our focus on testing, improving our tests together as a team and evolving our test automation approach, including our choice of tools and frameworks.

IMPORTANT: 

• The role is based in Graz and requires spending an average of one day per week in Feldkirchen in Carinthia (Location: go-e Headquarter).

Your area of responsibility

• Specify tests from requirements: Work with the firmware team and relevant stakeholders to clarify requirements and acceptance criteria and turn them into test specifications with clear preconditions, procedures and expected results.
• Automate tests and track coverage: Develop automated integration and system tests, link them to requirements, and identify gaps in test coverage.
• Evolve our test framework and architecture: Maintain and extend our existing Qt/C++-based test framework, libraries, and simulators. Work with the team to evaluate suitable tools and frameworks, and help shape and implement future changes to our test automation approach.
• Improve test infrastructure and reliability: Integrate devices and tests into our CI and hardware test environments, investigate failures, and improve test stability, diagnostics, and reporting.

It would be great if you have

1. Technical background: A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience.
2. Requirements-based testing: Experience in analysing requirements and specifying tests for verification and validation, including resolving ambiguities, defining acceptance criteria, and translating requirements into test cases with verifiable expected results.
3. Software development and test automation: Several years of experience in software development or test engineering, including     hands-on experience in test automation, working knowledge of C++, and proficiency with Git.
4. Framework and tooling experience: Experience experience in  or extending automated test frameworks, and the ability to work across programming languages and evaluate new tools as our test infrastructure evolves.
5. Asynchronous systems and communication: An understanding of asynchronous software and network communication and the ability to apply this knowledge when designing reliable automated tests.
6. Working style: A structured and independent approach to problem-solving, combined with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.

It would be even better if you have 

• CI/CD and containerization: Experience with GitLab CI/CD and Docker.
• Additional languages and frameworks: Experience with Qt, JavaScript, Python, or pytest.
• Embedded and hardware testing: Knowledge of embedded systems, serial communication, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Communication protocols: Familiarity with HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT, Modbus, or OCPP.
• Requirements and reporting tools: Experience documenting requirements in Jira or Confluence, or working with Allure reports and JUnit-format test results.
